so i called the local ultrasound place (baby's first peak) & they wont do an ultrasound for gender determination until after 20 weeks. WTF is the point of that? Ok, now Im kinda peeved.
Someone posted on 1st Tri a couple of days ago a link to what the genitals look like on a fetus under 20 wks. In the picture I honestly can tell you both the boy and girl looked almost identical before 20 weeks. I'll see if I can find it and post it for you.

My doctor's office standard schedule includes the gender determination at the 16-wk u/s and my doctor has never been wrong. Never. He even says he'll pay for the re-decoration of the nursery if he's wrong. So I don't for a second believe that the boy and girl parts look "almost identical before 20 weeks." That is simply false information. I think that they can look very similar on the screen if you are not getting a clear shot, but anatomically they look distinct.
4real--boo!! That sucks! I agree w/ pp--how does that count as a "first peek"?? Anywhere else in town that will do it earlier? Can you fudge your due date?

In 2D it may be harder to tell but when they throw it into 3D there is no mistaking if it's a boy (I don't know what girl parts look like in 3D). Our little one had a very obvious twig and berries that could in no way be mistaken for a girl- we were 18w5d when we went.
Re: bummed
Weird. Our place recommended 20 weeks or more but we were 18w5d.
Do they ask for any sort of documentation? Maybe you could just fib about how far along you are.
